The esports scene is buzzing with excitement as S8UL secures their spot to represent India at the Pokémon Unite World Championship Series (WCS). This achievement comes on the heels of a challenging period for the team, who had a disappointing run at the Asia Champions League (ACL), exiting early without qualifying for the main competition. Now, with their sights set on redemption, S8UL is gearing up to compete in the WCS Finals in the USA this August.
The journey to the WCS was not without its trials for S8UL. After losing their opening match in the India Qualifiers, they found themselves in the lower bracket, facing an uphill battle. Undeterred, they powered through, ultimately dominating teams like Team Dynamis, QML, and the well-known Revenant XSpark to clinch their qualification.
This isn't the first time S8UL has qualified for the WCS; they were set to represent India in the 2024 event as well. Unfortunately, visa issues prevented their participation in Honolulu. With cross-border travel to the US still presenting challenges, the team is undoubtedly aware of these potential hurdles. However, the hope is that S8UL will overcome these obstacles and make a significant impact at the WCS 2025 finals this summer.
